I937 -Q 'W NAUTILUS SENICRS NAOMI CREAN New Britain, Connecticut English Persuasive, yet denying eyes, all elo- quent with language of their own. Pink mallow blossoms-vanilla creams H a Florentine silver cross - Cleopatra darning socks-acacia perfume. I would not call Naomi a lady. She seems much more than that. She seems a woman. Graciously matured, serenely self- possessed, vibrantly alive, Naomi typifies Woman in the deepest, truest sense-a sense which makes lady weak and characterless. To me a lady is a sort of model upon which are draped pretty manners, but within which the deepest chords of life's rich symphony are seldom struck. Naomi is not this. Naomi is the sort of girl who could greet princes with equanimity though she were dressed in gingham. RUTH L. FADER West Somerville, Massachusetts Music One of the most wonderful things in nature is a glance of the eye. Sparks of the Bostonian scintillate from Ruthie's personality. With her con- servative New England habits you would never suspect her of impulsiveness or ah- sent-mindedness. That is, until you talked to her for a few minutes and then had her suddenly revive, saying, Oh, I'm sorry, what were you telling me? But these turns of individuality are Ruth. You tease her: roguishly she turns her eyes toward you and breaks into a tiny snicker which only urges you to tantalize more. And whence she draws her en- thusiasm for winding out those endless fundamentals of piano playing we should all like to know.

NALJTILLJS I937 stmloles J. WIERNER BABCOCK Wilmington, New York Biological Science With eyes of microscopic power. Mosses by a meadow brook!Gurth studying logic-yellow trumpet flowers. When we think of Verner we immedi- ately think of our beautiful campus and the part he has had in improving it. Verner has never actually painted the lily, but he has pruned her and petted her and coaxed her along until she has blossomed forth in her most gorgeous array and shown us what a lily really could be when she got a little flattering encouragement. As president of the newly formed Honor Society Verner has introduced many worthy innovations, one of the best being the magazine drive for our library. DOROTHY L. CARLSON Wollaston, Massachusetts English She has an eye that could speak, though her tongue were silent. White violets-Buddha smiling4Portia playing tennis-May morning-spice cake on a Dresden tray-black opals. Dot has come into her own at last. Living at home as she does, Dorothy was longer in showing us her talentsg but true worth cannot be hid for long, and little by little we discovered that we had a thoroughly intellectual Qas well as a thoroughly charmingD classmate in Dorothy. It was in the English Novel course that I really got to know Dot and to respect her judgment. She dissected and analyzed the characters with surgeon-like precision and diagnosed their actions as thoroughly as did ever a doctor diagnose a wealthy patient's blood pressure.

NALITILLJS I937 stnxuoas MILDRED E. Fisk Edgewood, Rhode Island Psychology A kind eye makes contradiction an asset. A lace fichu-candied lemon peel- Lady Macbeth doing home mission work- cactus blossoms-garden peas. We've all but lost our Milly of yesteryear, the Milly of the infectious laugh and raucous Oh shoot! In her place We have a self-contained and self- composed, dignified young lady whose third great commandment is, In every- thing be neat. - Having tasted the evidence of her culinary prowess at our Senior dinner party, I am wondering if she is choosing wisely in adopting the teaching pro- fession-but of course she can always avail herself of her woman's prerogative to change her mind. C. BEVERLY GORDON North Chelmsford, Massachusetts English Men with gray eyes are generally keen, energetic. How true this quotation is in Bev's case. Not only is he keen and energetic, he's methodical and foresighted as well. What's more, he always keeps his prom- ises-and expects you to do likewise. He came to me about the third day of school last September and said my Nautilus work would be due the third Tuesday in March. The day came, and before I was decently clothed and shaved Bev knocked on the door and said he'd take my write-ups over to the staff room and save me the bother. What a man! There's still some balm in Gilead, though-he once got C- in an exam. The best of luck to you, Bev.
